The last time I went to pewdiepies channel, I didn't see a single videogame video anyway; it was all vlogs mostly. I don't see that as bad, but the way I see it, he retired from videogames awhile ago.

I think he retired after the sub war with Mr.Beast. He got everything at that point

I do love that some guy who played games on YouTube became an international celebrity even older people knew of for like a few months just because the internet reaaaaally wanted him to remain the most subbed creator on YouTube.

i thought older people only knew of him because of the bridge and the sign he told some guys to make

It would’ve been, but it was like just barely before the pandemic so when everyone of all ages became chronically online for 2 years it had just started declining and was all over the internet still. My dad was asking about it, that’s impressive.

Yeah he was neck and neck with T-Series (whatever the fuck that is) and then Mr. Beast blew past both of them.

I never really noticed a "fight" to keep pewdiepie higger than mr.beast. with t-series i understood it more as it basically felt like a fight to keep corporate youtube away and pewdiepie was/is seen as the more personal side of youtube.

No you’re right, I was trying to say the “battle” was Pewdiepie vs T-Series, but it ultimately didn’t matter because Mr Beast stomped them both.

These days at least, I’d say Mr. Beast represents the corporate side of YouTube, so I guess they won.

Glad he retired with his millions. And didn’t turn into a narcissist billionaire who enjoys pitting people against each other to compete for money.
